I find it quite ironic that the most dangerous thing about weed is getting caught with it.

Marijuana is responsible for such a large part of the prison population, for the crime of self-medication. The fact that states are passing laws allowing it means that its threat has been over-exagerated.

Bill Murray – Actor, Comedian

I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry. It would be wonderful for the state of Maine. There’s some pretty good homegrown dope. I’m sure it would be even better if you could grow it with fertilizers and have greenhouses.

Stephen King – Novelist, Author

The biggest killer on the planet is stress, and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis. I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower.

Willie Nelson – Musician

Certainly, if more people were smoking instead of drinking, people don’t get mean on weed, don’t beat up their wives on weed and don’t drive crazy on weed. They just get hungry, don’t go out of the house or laugh a lot. I think it would make for a much more gentle world.

Susan Sarandon - Actess

Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?

Bill Hicks – Comedian and Social Critic

"I have fibromyalgia pain in [my left] arm, and the only thing that offers any relief is marijuana.They're talking about kids who have grand mal seizures, and they've discovered that marijuana eases that down to where these children can have a life.

That right there, to me, says, 'Legalize it across the board!'"

Morgan Freeman – Actor, Producer, and Narrator

(Should we legalize marijuana?) Yes. And release prisoners who are incarcerated for pot.

Mark Cuban – Owner of Dallas Mavericks, Investor, TV Personality

“I don’t understand how people can die all the time from alcohol poisoning, yet pot is so stigmatized.”

Amanda Seyfried – Actress

I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening – or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, mid-evening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early midafternoon, or perhaps the late-mid-afternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning… But never at dusk.

Steve Martin – Actor and Comedian

The vape pen has changed my life. No, I’m not exaggerating. In fact, her name is Sippy. And with each sip comes relief — from pressure, pain, stress, discomfort.

Whoopi Goldberg – Actress and Comedian

People say you can abuse marijuana. Well shit, you can abuse cheeseburgers too, you know? You don’t go around closing Burger King because you can abuse something.

Joe Rogan – Actor, Comedian, Commentator, MMA fighter

Marijuana is a useful catalyst for specific optical and aural aesthetic perceptions. I apprehended the structure of certain pieces of jazz and classical music in a new manner under the influence of marijuana, and these apprehensions have remained valid in years of normal consciousness.

Allen Ginsberg – Poet

Marijuana is quite possibly the finest of intoxicants. It has been scientifically proven, for decades, to be much less harmful to the body than alcohol when used on a regular basis (Google “Science”).

Nick Offerman – Actor

The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps to produce serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.

Carl Sagan – Scientist

I have always loved marijuana. It has been a source of joy and comfort to me for many years. And I still think of it as a basic staple of life, along with beer and ice and grapefruits – and millions of Americans agree with me.

Hunter S. Thompson – novelist, writer

Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see.

Thomas Jefferson – Founding father and the third President of the United States

faq

Cannabis, which can also be called marijuana, pot, or weed, is the dried flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. It contains mind-altering (e.g., psychoactive) compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, as well as other active compounds like cannabidiol, or CBD, that are not mind-altering.

It’s short for cannabidiol, and it’s a natural compound found in both marijuana and hemp plants. Evidence shows that it helps treat pain, seizures, and some other health problems. More research is needed for doctors to know the vast extents of what it can do.

Traditionally, Cannabis Sativa is used during the daytime due to its high THC levels and its cerebral, uplifting effects. Sativa use commonly results in appetite stimulation, creativity enhancement, and an uplifted mood.

Cannabis Indica is often used at night, as its effects tend to be more sedative, relaxing, and aiding in body pain and anxiety relief. These reactions are attributed to higher ratios of CBD: THC.

Cannabis Hybrids are crossbreeds of sativa and indica strains that display characteristics of both plants. Hybrid plants are usually sativa or indica dominant and are genetically bred according to the desired traits.

There are many ways of using Cannabis, and each one affects users differently. Cannabis can be rolled up and smoked like a cigarette (a joint) or a cigar (a blunt). Cannabis can also be smoked in a pipe. Sometimes people mix it in food and eat it or brew it as a tea (edibles). Smoking oils, concentrates, and extracts from the Cannabis plant are on the rise. People who use this practice call it “dabbing.”

Like any other drug, cannabis’s effects on a person depends on a number of factors, including the person’s previous experience with the drug or other drugs, biology (e.g., genes), gender, how the drug is taken, and how strong it is.

Some dispensaries have a flat rate pricing regardless of which marijuana strain or product you choose, while others have a tiered system (low/mid/high grade). The tax rates vary by locale, but typically fall between 15-22%.

Recently, pricing in Denver has gotten more competitive. From our Spring 2017 pricing report on recreational marijuana, you'll be able to find 1/4oz of flower for around $60 with the 21.12%, tax not included. In areas of Colorado with a limited number of marijuana stores like along the I-70 corridor, expect $100+ quarters until new harvests hit the market or additional stores open.

The greatest amount of evidence for the therapeutic effects of cannabis relate to its ability to reduce chronic pain, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, and spasticity [tight or stiff muscles] from MS.

Medical marijuana received a lot of attention a few years ago when parents said that a special form of the drug helped control seizures in their children. The FDA recently approved Epidiolex, which is made from CBD, as a therapy for people with very severe or hard-to-treat seizures. Studies have shown a dramatic drop in seizures after taking this drug.

To get medical marijuana, you need a written recommendation from a licensed doctor in states where that is legal. (Not every doctor is willing to recommend medical marijuana for their patients.) You must have a condition that qualifies for medical marijuana use. Each state has its own list of qualifying conditions. Your state may also require you to get a medical marijuana ID card. Once you have that card, you can buy medical marijuana at a store called a dispensary.

Inhale it through a device called a vaporizer that turns it into a mist

Eat it -- for example, in a brownie or lollipop

Apply it to your skin in a lotion, spray, oil, or cream

Place a few drops of a liquid under your tongue

How you take it is up to you. Each method works differently in your body. If you smoke or vaporize cannabis, you feel the effects very quickly. If you eat it, it takes significantly longer. It can take 1 to 2 hours to experience the effects from edible products.
